[Bug] Grip of Winter - No Ongoing Particle?

from Elemental Forums

Edit....moved to support......

@ Stardock - i'm sure this used to work but sometime in the last version or two it seems to have stopped working.  The initial Grip of Winter particle shows fine, but there is supposed to be an ongoing particle effect, i.e. this one:

<GameModifier>
  <ModType>City</ModType>
  <Duration>-1</Duration>
  <Effect>E_GripofWinter_Particle</Effect>
</GameModifier>

 

I don't believe this shows up anymore.  In fact I don't think any particle attached to a GameModifier on a City works anymore. 

This definitely used to work fine... would be great to get this fixed if possible.

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi all,

My understanding is that when you cast Grip of Winter on a city... there should be a nice big particle effect when the spell is cast... and then the icy snow particle effect should continue to shroud the city so long as the spell is maintained.

I'm not seeing the ongoing particle effect, only the initial one.  I'm sure this used to work (i've seen the particle in past I believe).

 

Can anyone confirm if they are (or are not) seeing the ongoing particle effect?   

 

I'm trying to work out if it's a bug or a setting/problem somewhere on my end.

Thanks.

Anyone?  

Pretty sure it's a recent bug but would like confirmation that it's not just me.

Great thanks.  I'm sure it used to work, going to move this to support.

I can confirm that I used to see the (ongoing) particle effect in circa 1.3 builds; I just cast it again, and did not see the effect.

That said, I use CoS and I think that there was a change to the spell effect in this mod in a recent release (I think it used to set the target city's tile type or something?) so perhaps it's due to the mod and not the base game?

Thanks for confirming Crastiloowa, yep sounds right seems to have stopped working recently.  I don't think it's mod thing because I tested Grip of Winter with mods turn off to be sure.

Would like to get this fixed seeing as it used to work.
